Folkston, GA to Blackshear, GA- 55 miles

Another sunny day, got warm (90 ish degrees), and a headwind the last 15 miles!

Today I rode with Valerie, Fran, Suzanne, Lorna, Jude, Mary

By the numbers:  57.7 miles, an extra 2.7 miles for me - our motel was 2.7 miles from the other motel, so we rode back there for breakfast; max speed 23.2 - nice downhill; average speed 12.5; and riding time 4 hours 35 minutes.

In this post I'll introduce you to some of the women on the ride.

Waiting for breakfast - Donna, Suzanne and Valerie


Breakfast - grits, baked eggs, fruit, coffee


Eggs, grits on the back pan

Some busy roads first thing this morning but not as busy as yesterday's 4 lane roads with road construction.  Some rumblestrips again today but not like yesterday's!  Yikes!
